Gus La Casse and Eamon Sefton met when they joined forces at the legendary Club Passim as part of the 2018 Boston Celtic Music Festival. Eamon, a guitarist known for percussive rhythm and clever use of harmony, is a sought-after Celtic-style guitarist from the Boston area. Gus, based in Downeast, Maine, is a dynamic folk fiddler with both speed and savage energy, playing a repertoire reflective of his innovative spirit and dedication to the Acadian and Cape Breton fiddle traditions. Together, Gus and Eamon will feature the lively kitchen party music that is sure to make you want to clap your hands, stomp your feet and dance!
Klezwoods is a wild amalgam of strings, horns, and percussion that melds the spirit of Jewish, Eastern European, Arabic, and North African music traditions with modern grooves, improvisation, and melodic interplay. The ensemble serves as a truly modern American melting pot of musical cultures, as each world renowned performer brings a unique voice and musical background to the mix. The formidable range of the band members and tightly arranged melodies only add to the audience’s experience of Klezwoods’ music: wildly exuberant Balkan wedding parties, somber clarinet melodies, stately Ottoman-inspired themes, upbeat klezmer dances, and barn burning, funky North African beats. All are presented in a dynamic manner that is unique to Klezwoods, while embracing and paying deep respect to all of these cultural and musical influences. Simply put, “it’s a party you won’t want to miss out on.” (MuzikReviews.com)
